Through this experience, we will raise awareness and funds for Tanga community through blood donation. We will engage attendees in the first ever Marathon in Tanga and offers compelling entertainment as well as educational benefits in regards to the following goals.

It will put Tanzania on the world map as it continues to attract international runners therefore will increasing the profile of our nation. Furthermore, hundreds of people will travel to Tanzania to run the l marathons and after the event will proceed on holiday to some of Tanzania’s tourist attractions. The marathon will have media coverage which will see the event broadcasted around Africa and other international news channels as well as in our local media. The Tanga City Marathon will also serve as a platform where budding athletes will launch their international careers. From this year of launch of the Marathon in 2017 the marathon will be every year. The Tanga City Marathon is now an event for all Tanzania’s, including corporate organizations that use it as a forum for team building. Blood Donation In 2017 we will make tremendous steps in Blood Donation. This will be the voluntary blood donation during the events. In developing countries such as Tanzania the availability of safe blood supplies is a scarce commodity and largely influenced by low participation rates amongst the citizens. However, with all the activities that happen around the day it is imperative for individuals to realize the importance of voluntary blood donation. To establish a sustainable nationally coordinated blood transfusion service, backed with necessary policy and standards, which will ensure the availability of adequate and safe blood and blood products in Tanzania.
